The Zayed National Museum is a national tribute to the life, values, and vision of His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Founding Father of the United Arab Emirates. This architectural masterpiece is being designed by Lord Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, recipient of the Pritzker Prize, and will feature six permanent galleries as well as one temporary gallery, spread across two floors. Inspired by falcon wings, the five towers are symbolic of the country's heritage and its deep-rooted passion for falconry. Highlights of the collection include the Abu Dhabi Pearl—one of the world’s oldest natural pearls—and the Blue Qur’an, a rare masterpiece of Islamic art. Located at the cultural district of Saadiyat Island, this iconic landmark will be perched alongside premier cultural institutions like the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim, further elevating the capital’s status as a global hub of cultural excellence, when it opens by Q4 2025.
